Annnnnd that’s why I don’t get off the boat.
Im blaming them for being unwise and believing the rest of the world is just like Middle America. That’s what happens in the third world. Those in the Third World are obviously responsible for their acts, so it is up to those who are not part of that world to protect themselves. Those in the Third World WILL kill you, or rob you, or rape you, if they can get away with it.
This is a 100% certainty. So, since it is a 100% certainty that those in the Third World will harm you, if they can get away with it, do you not share some responsibility for what befalls you if you decide to go any way?
Their sins was to assume that every place is like Middle America. They are guilty of being naive. This is very common in suburbia America.
I wonder if it was Paradise Island? We stayed there the first year they were open and the pool area would fill up with cruise ship passengers.
there is a reason why many women will never admit to being attacked/raped....they are immediately called sluts and their accusations called lies...
but even how callous and repugnant these freeper views are, I hope to God their women folk...moms, grandma's, wives, daughters, nieces and granddtrs never become victims themselves....
I disagree. They committed no sin nor were they nieve. To say either is to blame the victims for being raped.
They signed up and paid very good money for a cruise/vacation. Vacations are to rest your worries, especially cruises. The assumption that all stops are vetted to be safe, else the ship wouldn’t go to that location.
They went to a part of the world where harm to a Western person is nearly certain and they weren’t being naive?
They were attractive women, with no male escorts and no other means of protection and they drank from a drink that was prepared onsite and wasn’t sealed by a corporation and they expected everything to be fine.
That’s being naive and they paid for it.
The rest of the world is nothing like suburban America. If you are traveling internationally, you cannot expect safety.
“They went to a part of the world where harm to a Western person is nearly certain and they weren’t being naive?”
The people of the people of the Caribbean are “certain to harm westerners”?
First time I’ve ever heard that. Where’s your info?
I don’t trust anybody in the Third World. To be fair, they were at a resort so they should have been safer. But they made a mistake of not watching their drinks being made. If I were to attend a resort, Id want to see my drinks being made in front of me. If my drink disappears, I wouldnt drink it.
Outside of Western society, you can’t trusr anybody. People have disappeared on Cruise ships, presumably pushed overboard.
Doesn’t ring a bell .
“The question is how is the cruise line responsible for them getting off the ship? Who is responsible for them vacationing in a country with a travel advisory?
They’re accusing the cruise line of being responsible. I say they’re adults. They should have checked.”
Hey, you really should apologize for your behavior and words. You just said two women were responsible for being drugged and raped and nearly murdered. That’s despicable.
If it wasn’t a shore excursion sponsored by the cruise line, then they’re on their own.
The freepers on this thread are exactly as Hillary said, deplorable. Two Americans are drugged and raped on a cruise and you idiots blame victims not the predators, call the sluts and liars and tell them th take responsibility for themselves and speculate on whether the cruise line has responsibility or the resort.
You people are deplorable and sad and not one of you has a Christian bone in you evil bodies.
